The vanity of creatures; or, no rest on earth. 3 Now let them boast how tall they rise, MAN has a sound of waste desires He burns within with restless fires; There they may stand with haughty eyes I'll never envy them again; Till they plunge deep in endless pain. 2 In rain on earth we hope to find 4 Their fancy'd joys, how fast they flee! Just like a dream when man awakes ; Some solid good to fill the mind; We try new pleasures--but we feel Their songs of softest harmony The inward thirst and torment still. Are but a preface to their plagues. 5 So when a raging fever burns, 5 Now I esteem their mirth and wine We shift from side to side by turns; Too dear to purchase with my blood; And 'tis a poor relief we gain, Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine, To change the place, but keep the pain. My life, my portion, and my God. 1 Great God! subdue this vicious thirst, HYMN 164. B. 2. C. M. b This love to vanity and dust; Cure the vile fever of the mind, Abridge, Durham. The end of the world.

Well, they may search the creature through, +When will that glorious morning rise, For they have ne'er a God. When the last trumpet sound, And call the nations to the skies 3 Shake off the thoughts of dying too, From underneath the ground ? And think your life your own ; But death comes hast'ning on to you, -To mow your glory down. 1 Yes, you must bow your stately head, Away your spiriť fies, THE JEWISH CHURCH : And nó kind angel near your bed, To bear it to the skies.
